Uneven Hourly And Daily Distribution On Ad Views Options

[malmazano]

I updated to the current version of OpenX because i was having trouble getting phpadsnew to delivered contracted amounts of advertising for country targeted campaigns.

This time I the campaigns to that they have better priority than global ones.

Now the problem is that I have a campaign that is getting very uneven delivery of adviews throughout the day and day to day.

The campaign needs to deliver 10,000 adviews per month to a country that has a capacity of 100,000 (which is about a 20% of the site's capacity of 500,000). There is another campaign of similar size, so there should be plenty of room.

The campaign in question was lagging some 5,000 adviews behind and has about 4 months to ago (out of 6 contracted).

I updated to OpenX on the 8th of this month.

Here's the daily distribution:
19-10-2009 1,041
18-10-2009 16
17-10-2009 15
16-10-2009 86
15-10-2009 1,551
14-10-2009 666
13-10-2009 1,179
12-10-2009 2,787
11-10-2009 1,025
10-10-2009 321
09-10-2009 550
08-10-2009 336

As you can see, it's all over the place.

Here's the hourly distribution for th 19th:
00:00 - 00:59 2
01:00 - 01:59 1
02:00 - 02:59 3
03:00 - 03:59 4
04:00 - 04:59 3
05:00 - 05:59 14
06:00 - 06:59 9
07:00 - 07:59 36
08:00 - 08:59 88
09:00 - 09:59 197
10:00 - 10:59 188
11:00 - 11:59 194
12:00 - 12:59 187
13:00 - 13:59 115
14:00 - 14:59 -
15:00 - 15:59 -
16:00 - 16:59 -
17:00 - 17:59 -
18:00 - 18:59 -
19:00 - 19:59 -
20:00 - 20:59 -
21:00 - 21:59 -
22:00 - 22:59 -
23:00 - 23:59 -


Or here's another day:
00:00 - 00:59 4
01:00 - 01:59 32
02:00 - 02:59 22
03:00 - 03:59 4
04:00 - 04:59 3
05:00 - 05:59 7
06:00 - 06:59 39
07:00 - 07:59 45
08:00 - 08:59 -
09:00 - 09:59 -
10:00 - 10:59 -
11:00 - 11:59 -
12:00 - 12:59 -
13:00 - 13:59 -
14:00 - 14:59 28
15:00 - 15:59 126
16:00 - 16:59 -
17:00 - 17:59 -
18:00 - 18:59 -
19:00 - 19:59 -
20:00 - 20:59 -
21:00 - 21:59 -
22:00 - 22:59 -
23:00 - 23:59 -

What's up with that? How can i get a more even distribution? I can picture very unhappy customers.

Non-country targeted have a more even hourly delivery, but they still have a daily distribution that oscillated too much for me

I'd be grateful for some support on the above
